Is it normal to fear death so much?

I am so afraid of dying to the point that if I think about it too much that I get lightheaded! It starts like a cycle where I would wonder when it's going to happen, then how, then what's going to happen after I'm dead (what awaits me? Only darkness and nothing?), then I think of all the people I won't ever see again and finally I'm left with only one question: what is the purpose of being here when I'm going to die one day anyway? This scares the hell out of me! Is there anyone else that feels this way? Is this normal?

    Thanx for the advice I really do appreciate it a lot from now on I will definately try to stop thinking of when my life will end and rather start enjoying it while I'm still here...

    Its normal. Fear of the unknown. You have so many questions that you don't know the answer to and some of which you'll only know once your dead (god forbid). However, don't dwell too much on it. Enjoy your life now rather than waste it thinking about when it will end.

    You need to surrender yourself to Jesus.

    Yes. Literally *anything* could happen when we die, there are so many questions. What state of reality will we find ourselves in? Is all memory of our life on Earth eradicated from us? Is there some sort of closure to our lives, a realization of things beyond human perception? Or is there no resolve, and are we doomed to an eternal suffering or some form?

    The fact is no-one can KNOW 100% until we reach that moment, so regardless of you what you believe about death and/or what occurs after death, we all must face it eventually.

    I think the best we, as humans can do is accept that it is beyond our control, and that whatever will be will be.

    I kept getting that alot, except I'd be doing something then get a massive feeling that my death is coming, only way I can describe it is like on the film final destination.....like something is planned to happen to me or that I've got a really bad illness that will kill me, I felt so horrible that I was to afraid to tell anyone, and when I did cause I couldn't stop crying I was told it was a symptom of anxiety, which I have suffered from badly for 2 years and now having treatment for, anxiety is extremely common! It has different effects so don't feel alone! It can be helped :-)

    I'm an atheist, so death scares me A LOT :/ I know that when I die, I'm just gonna die.. I'll never see this beautiful planet again, and the people I love. My children and grandchildren will miss me, but after them, no one will remember me :/ And that kills me. But I have to get over it :] and so do you :) Good luck!
